P.O.V: Rose

After that crazy after noon Dimitri and I decided to just skip the date and go to bed.

I woke up to a presistant knocking at the door.

"Dimitri," I groaned, "Can you see who that is?"

"Roza I cant were in your room, ill be in the bathroom hiding," sleep coated his voice as he got up to go to the bathroom.

I reluctantly got out of bed and went to the door. When I opened it Abe was standing there. I felt the hurt come back from all of the things he had said to me yesterday.

"Hi little girl can I come in?" He asked in a much kinder voice than he had used yesterday. I opened the door more slightly using the universal sign to let him in but still saying nothing. I just gave him the look that said out with what you want now. Then I realized that dimitri was still in the bathroom so I closed and locked my door then went over to the bathroom.

"Its okay, you can come out," I said to Dimitri and he came out.

He stopped abruptly when he saw abe and his face hardened. "What are you doing here?" he asked wrapping one arm around my waste protectively. I loved when he got all protective and possive over me. He is always so sweet and willing to stand up for me its one of the thing I love about him.

"I came to apologize," abe began. "the way I acted last night was not okay. I was rude and plain mean, I was being an ass. I don't usually act like that and I want to have a relationship with you."

"And why would I believe you. You never showed any interest in me until now and now I am an adult and it seems to me, from your actions yesterday, you are still looking for that little baby you left."

"I know you shouldn't trust me, I shure as hell wouldn't if I were you, but I do want to be there for you. I have shown interest in you look at this." He pulled out his wallet and his phone to show me photos of me growing up and even some rescent ones. "Alberta has sent me as well as giving me updates on how you were throughout the years. Those two years that you were missing were the worst two years of my life. I spent all of my time trying to find you, I sent out dozens of highly trained people to find you. When I heard that Belikov was leading the search team I was so realived because I knew that he would find you and when he did I actually cried. I don't cry kiz but I did because I was so happy to hear that you were okay. I look at those photos coutless times a day. I know I haven't been there for you but I want to be now. Ill do anything to make it up to you just give me the chance please."

I had my guard up now and my guardian mask was firmly in place, but underneath I was meltin like a chocolate left in the truck in realldy did care and even if he didn't show it he has cared my whole life and is here now practically begging me to forgive him. There was no way I was going to let him see how happy I was that he as here now so I crossed my arms and said, "Why did you leave me?"

"Roza-" Dimitri began cautiously but I interrupted him.

"No, dimitri, I want to know." I looked him in the eyes and it was like he read what was inside of me because he melted just like that and said it was okay.

I motioned for abe to start, "My work is very dangerous, I have many enimies who would love to hurt me. If they were to know that I have a family that would be the first place to strike, even before causing physical pain to me. They would do terrible things to you some would beat you with and inch of your life, rape you, torture you, kidnap you the list is endless. I had to protect both you and your mother from that. I never wanted to leave and everyday that I was gone hurt more than anything but I knew that it would hurt so much more if any of these men had gotten to you."

"So why come now?" I continued with my questioning.

Abe took a deep breath, "Because you are now eaighteen and salmost a fully trained guardian you have already had your first kills." I flinched at the memory of the day that Mason died. Dimitri tightened his grip on me and rubbed soothing circles into my hip bone. "Sorry. My point is you are capable of taking care of yourself and most people including most of my enemies would be afraid of messing with you and anyone who is stupid enough to well there just idioits and will learn their lesson."

"Okay then I can give you a chance but its going to take a lot to earn my trust." Abe's face lit up and he ran forward to hug me, dimitri stepped back to give us space but was still close enough in case anything happened I don't think he exactly trusts Abe yet but he will soon enough. I hugged Abe back.

"Thank you so much kizim I promis I wont let you down." We let go of each other and dimitri came back up and wrapped his arm back around me.

"There is one this though," I said. "Your going to have to except my relationship with Dimitri. I love him and he loves me and nothing will ever change that."

He hesitated giving Dimitri an ugly look but eventually said, "Ill try my best."

"No, that's not good enough you have to accept it and be civil twards him. Dimitri means everything to me hes a part of me. If you upset him you upset me if you insult him you insult me and so on."

Abe sighed, "Fine I accept your relationship with Belikov."

"Okay then," I sadi happily. "I have to get ready im metting mom for breakfast so if you don't mind…" I hined to Abe to leave.

"Wait what about him!" abe said referring to Dimitri and why I wasn't kicking him out as well.

"Well Dimitri needs to get ready to."

"Wait you mean he stayed to night here?!"

"Wow you're a bit slow, why else would he be here in his pajamas?"

"I didn't realize he was in his pajamas," Abe said.

"Yes Dimitri walks around campus in pajama bottoms and no shirt. Whats wrong with you?" Dimitri just chuckled at my whittey ness.

"Oh im going to kill you, Belikov!" Suddenly dimitri's face went pale.

"No your not. Now please leave so I can get dressed." With a huff Abe left.

I turned to Dimitri and he was laughing, "You know that you pretty much just told your father that we had sex last night."

"Hey at least I didn't I tell him how great it was or that it was my first time," I said grinnig.

Dimitri just chuckled and leaned down to kiss me.
